About the Artist...
On July 4, 2011, very much on impulse, Rick Freeman pointed his camera skyward to capture the fireworks as they exploded. While they launched and painted the sky with vibrant sparks and splashes, so did Rick dance with his camera beneath the exciting display. When he got home and saw the pictures blown up on a larger screen for the first time, he was stunned by the ethereal, energetic images he’d created in collaboration with the fireworks display. This began a chronicle of 10 years of July skies, moments of time frozen in all of their unexpected chromatic beauty.
Rick Freeman is a Greenwich small business owner, Westerchester, NY resident, musician and lover of art who has been photographing the sparks and splashes of 4th of July fireworks for the last 10 years. As the son of Holocaust survivors his art and life is proof of the awe inspiring hope, resiliency and spirit of his parents and the incredibly rich lives so many refugee families have built in the US. Celebrating July 4th and the fireworks of Independence Day is so much more than a picnic. Please join us for this exhibition.
